Winter Retreat New Forest 28th – 2nd January 2026

The days between Christmas and New Year hold a rare and special magic. The rush of festivities has quietened, and the new year has not yet begun — a gentle pause, a time to breathe and turn inward.

This retreat offers participants a sanctuary during this unique season, providing the opportunity to:

Rest deeply after the fullness of December.

Reflect meaningfully on the year that has passed.

Prepare with clarity and intention for the year ahead.

Set in a welcoming environment with candlelight, nourishing meals, and kind company, the retreat combines restorative practices, guided reflections, and simple celebrations. Participants will be supported in releasing the old year, replenishing body and mind, and stepping into 2026 with ease and renewed energy.

It is a gift of time: moments in the crisp winter air, returning to the warmth of fine dinners; soulful practices; quiet reflection; and the gentle rhythm of shared experience, creating space to reconnect with self before the pace of life resumes.

What to Expect

A winter retreat is unlike any other. The stillness of the season invites calm, while shared experiences foster warmth and connection. Between Christmas and New Year, participants will have the perfect opportunity to restore balance, rejuvenate, and step into the new year with strength and clarity.

During the retreat, participants will receive:

Daily routines to cultivate steadiness, confidence, and presence.

Gentle self-care practices in a supportive environment, promoting independence and ease.

Movement and flow sessions designed to improve balance, coordination, and vitality.

Creative self-expression through gesture, rhythm, and playful communication.

Wholesome, nourishing meals to restore energy after the indulgence of Christmas — healthy, hearty, and full of flavour.

Organic hot chocolate making made from pure cocoa, a comforting treat to enjoy in company.

Moments of stillness, laughter, and connection, woven through shared meals, simple celebrations, and reflective practices.

This retreat embraces the beauty of winter — the crisp air, the quiet of the season, the warmth of companionship, and the promise of a new year. Participants will be invited to let the old year gently settle, and to enter the next one feeling revitalised, centred, and ready for fresh beginnings.
